Imagine trying to rewind the clock and start your life anew, perhaps by moving to a new country or starting a new career. You would still be constrained by your past experiences and your existing ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a valuable resource for neurological disease-modeling and drug discovery due to their ability to differentiate into neurons reflecting the genetics of the ...

Although the clinical application of induced pluripotent stem cells is still in its infancy, the development of iPSC technologies reflected by an increasing number of patents provides hope that they ...

As we age, we lose potential. The options for a child seem limitless but as adults, our careers, opinions and relationships are constrained by the choices we made. And as we become more specialised, ...

Because iPSCs are not derived from embryonic tissue and are not subject to the federal restrictions that limit the use of embryonic stem cells, researchers regard them as a promising means to develop ...

Investigators at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Regenerative Medicine have confirmed that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) retain some characteristics of the cells from ...

PHILADELPHIA - Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have devised a totally new and far more efficient way of generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), immature ...

Researchers have for the first time been able to generate a pluripotent stem cell line from the cells of a patient with a genetic disease, according to a study appearing tomorrow (August 1) in Science ...

Genetic individuality could explain some differences between human iPSCs and ESCs, the authors proposed. There may be discrepancies when comparing iPSCs from one donor to ESCs from another simply ...
